Kermit and the gang decide to take a trip to Hollywood. They begin their journey on a bicycle pedalled by Kermit, but friends accumulate along the way, and they change vehicles to accomodate them. They have the additional challenge of fending off the entreaties of the heartless Doc Hopper who wants Kermit to make some advertisements promoting fried frog legs. Kermit must also cope with his amorous feelings for Miss Piggy, and hers for him. Once in Hollywood they encounter many stars. (official distributor synopsis)

I simply like them. I guess I'm just in the mood for an American production. The Muppets are simply fun, and they prove it in this movie. In addition, they have a plethora of great actors of their time. When you see Orson Welles transformed into a fat guy, you think that the exercise is probably worth it. The film is definitely good, a fantastic ride with great individual scenes. As a whole, it's not exactly groundbreaking; the script does have a classic framework after all.
